The rather weak proc make me think most people will end feeling that instead of being a boon when it procs, it'll be a pain anytime it's not up...

Comment by BoomBoomSn1p3r

If it procs often then it could be useful to us Marksman Hunters :)

With cobra shot and steady shot ((supposedly)looks like its not happening) being changed to a 1.5 second base cast time, i am incredibly interested in what the ICD is on this trinket, and hope greatly that it is very short.

The name on this trinket might be a reference to the Wheel of Time, where the inscription on a spear says "Thought is the arrow of time, memory never fades."

or it might just be future-Sylvanas' arrow.

Comment by matheus314

Normally, 20 second procs have an internal cooldown of 2 mins (1'40 for reproc).

If this one have any less than that, it'd be a great trinket.

Comment by Burzolog

"Arrow of time" is an extremely common phrase used to describe the flow of time. The term was coined in 1927. Seriously, just Google it first before jumping to conclusions about what it might reference.

Comment by Jdiddy

In case anyone was wondering, Arrow of Time proc stacks with The Hungerer's proc.

Comment by Wirrikuta

I hope one day blizzard fixes how crappy crit/haste are for enhance shaman or at least doesn't continue to butcher almost all the raid drops like those from Dragon Soul. They almost all have haste and crit on them and the one weapon for enhance shamans, yet again the 5th boss late in the dungeon, has haste on it. Really? Blizzard just does not care at all about stats for enhance on gear in this patch apprently because they butchered them for the most part. More pertaining to this post, this is pretty much the EXACT piece of crap that the hungerger was. Why do Str classes get 2 very nice trinkets and agi classes get 1 *!@#ty one? Come on blizz use your brain if you have one.

I want this but I'm not entirely sure it's better than Fluid Death or even the Petrified Seed.

+ LOL if you're going to be upset over pointless comments I hope you don't browse wowhead often, bud.

Comment by twocat

For enhancement looking for an alternative to the 359 wonder trinkets(Fluid Death and Darkmoon Card: Hurricane) this isn't a replacement, even with the much higher ilvl. Simmed out with a 374 ilvl enhancement, it works out just under the DPS of the DMC:Hurricane, and much lower than Fluid Death.

Ofcourse, it depends entirely on your gear, but this just is an all around bad enhance trinket.

Comment by sssnnnake

Hi guys.I was unable to find this information and i want to ask u the following.Is this item Unsolvable Riddle is better than Arrow of Time for Feral druid Cat.I know that Arrow of Time is hunter trinket but it give 383 agility and can be used for druid.But im not sure is it better than 321 Mastery and use of 1605 agility for 20 sec.My first thougths was Arrow of time is item level 378 it should be better than item level 359 but im not sure.My opinion is that i should choose Unsolvable Riddle instead of Arrow of Time.Am i right ?

Comment by Emarelda

Is this thing ^&*!ing bugged? 65% drop rate, I've only ever seen it drop once. I need this for my hunter, this is obnoxious.

Comment by warbriinger

After the initial proc, according to my stopwatch, its roughly 50-55 sec CD. Up for 20, down for 30-35, up for 20.

Great trinket in my opinion for feral druids.

Comment by kgurnhill

To Emareldathe 65% on the wowhead website is the average drop rate by all the people with the wowhead client, not actual drop rate.If more people use the client to upload data to wowhead, the data on the website gets more accurate! :)

Why was this downrated? its accurate, the data on wowhead might not reflect the actual drop rate at all... whoever downrated me is a moron... plain and simple!

Its like: If you had a loot table and you killed the boss once and he dropped Arrow of Time and Crown of Epochs

Both arrow of time and crown of epochs will show as 100%and the other item drops will show at 0%

Comment by dabigoreo

Just lost this on a need roll by a paladin...I'm a hunter.... Before I go blasting the tool who rolled need on it I need one thing answered - since when do paladins need agility?

Comment by vorgo921

So in this trinket.. I saw in the wow dungeon journal and filter for Warrior loot and shows it the listed for Warriors. So AGI is also good for Crit and a DPS Warrior can use Crit. So by Blizzard listing it in the DJ filter for Warrior. Is it fine for a Warrior to need that?

Comment by Thestool

I've tested this and I've come to the conclusion that the ICD is 50 secs (The Hungerer is 60 secs) (tested for awhile with need to know addon, a very good addon).Thats a total of 10 secs less than The Hungerer.While having it up for an extra 5 secs.So it will proc more and be up more than The Hungerer an overall dps gain imo.Both procs give the same amount of haste The Hungerer: 1532x15=22980, Arrow of Time: 1149x20=22980And the best part is: no agility loss!One more thing i like is: it's not like The Hungerer and it doesn't proc off of the first hit for me, this gives me the opportunity to get my Matrix Restabilizer to proc crit before haste does.(yes, I am a hunter)Edit: forgot a space and a ":".

Comment by EiyuutheRed

Murazond used to be such a good dragon. Then he took an Arrow (of Time) to the knee.

Comment by Sourcerain

I used to travel back in time but then I took Arrow of Time in the knee...

Comment by santipants

This trinket isn't too terrible as far as Hunters are concerned. It's actually quite good and non-raiders finally have something you can give up FD for. I'd even take it over the terribly conceived new VP trinket.

It can proc with either The Hungerer and Matrix Restabilizer, which gives you over +50% haste when both proc at the same time, the equivalent to a mini-bloodlust.

Comment by spongemike

Only seen it drop once on both my pally and hunter adn I run this heroic everyday. Either I am unlucky or the drop rate is really low.

Comment by jaraii

Part of the Agility leather 378 "set" for the new Hour of Twilight instances. Only the second trinket slot is not covered by the new instances and Justice Points.

Comment by ataegina

Although the ilvl is higher and it would be nice to constantly have 383 agi instead of waiting for 380 agi to add up from Fluid Death, I'd rather have the hit and (reforged) mastery from Fluid Death too.

I don't know, it seems nice, but considering how rare it seems to be, I think I'll just forget about it.

Comment by Zulvaditaj

Great trinket for agility using classes - especially rogues and hunters.

This is a possible reference to Matrim Cauthon in the "Wheel of Time" series written by Robert Jordan. On his blade-spear (pole-arm) a phrase is inscribed: " ...thought is the arrow of time, memory never fades."

Interesting...

Comment by Suuon

As I've been reading over these posts there has been a lot of discussion about % drop rates, so I thought I'd just comment on how to interpret wowhead's estimated drop rate and how accurate it is. After reading the following ensure that you look at the amount of encounters that have been recorded by wowhead to determine the accuracy of the stated % drop rate:

If we assume the data regarding the drop rate of this item is correct, the percentage drop rate is determined by summing up every encounter this item has dropped and comparing it to all other items dropped.

The total number of possible items dropped all have a percentage drop rate and when combined the total will be 100%. Therefore, it is very unlikely that the % drop rate changes from one encounter to another. The drop rate is static, so you are incorrect in saying there is a difference between the % drop rate per encounter vs. % drop rate averaged over a series of encounters.

The only way wowhead is able to estimate the static drop rate of an item is by collecting data from many, many encounters. The greater number of times data is submitted to wowhead regarding an encounter the closer it is able to determine the exact drop rate % of this item.

Thus, if there is a stated % drop rate, then one can have an approximate idea about the % chance this item will drop. Each time that player faces the same encounter the % chance of that item dropping will not change in any way, being "unlucky" is just that.

Hope this helps clear up misunderstandings regarding the % drop rate of an item and how the pool of data collected by wowhead is used in that process, and also the importance of submitting as much info to wowhead as possible

Comment by creperum

It has a INC of 50 sec: proc, start timer, 51 sec 2nd proc.

Comment by robbieuk2k

I have recently done this dungeon and this item dropped. It was my first time doing this dungeon so guess i was just lucky. Not lucky enough though, a rogue need on it also and he won (DAMN!)

Comment by breaker581

Done this fight dozens upon dozens of times on my rogue and never seen the arrow drop. First time I ever did it on my feral, or course it drops...

Comment by wolframwow

It has 30 seconds cooldown after the 20 seconds. So it has 50 seconds cooldown after the moment it activates, from which 20 are the buff. It is pretty nice, because it has about 40% uptime

Comment by PalaneiS

Killed Murozond 15 times to be precise, it dropped only once and was ninja'd by a healadin from me (hunter) :s only thing I need to have all epics, 359 ilvl+
